I didn't invent the idea of a crocheted viking hat - but I did make my own pattern, so I guess I'm pretty stoked about that! Worsted weight grey yarn from Walmart, the horns are cotton yarn - the stuff people make wash cloths out of, the piggy tails are yellow dollar store yarn (that was so horrible to work with I would not recommend it for anything other than something like hair!)

The hat is crocheted in the round, mostly half-double crochet with back post double crochet to make the 'seams'. Popcorn stitches make the rivets around the base of the 'helmet'.
